Some speaker populations, such as that around the Histaxa fields region, pronounce /æ/ as [a]. Some in these groups pronounce /æ/ as a more back vowel but not as far back as the standard phonemic /a/, so it is possible that the two phonemes /æ/ and /a/ have not split for either group. In other groups around the same area, /a/ has come to be pronounced [ɑ] or [ɒ] to differentiate between /æ/ which has come to be pronounced as [a], created a chain shift. No other vowels are shifted in these dialects, so it is not a systemic change. | Some speaker populations, such as that around the Histaxa fields region, pronounce /æ/ as [a].

== Orthography == | |||
The writing system is called Sér̂a /'seʂa/ (meaning also ‘be made real, manifest’). It exists in three modes: Ture /'tuɾɛ/ ('soft'), which is a cursive script, R̂ek /ʂɛk/ ('hard'), which is a runic system, and the default, which is standard. | |||
It is a phonemic alphabet with 42 symbols, one for each phoneme in the language. | |||

===Romanization=== | |||
There is also a standardized Romanization for the Rílin alphabet, as seen below in brackets. In some cases, there are options between using a diacritic to modify a Latin character and using a digraph, such in the case with /β/, which may be written ẃ or bh. | |||
